Fénix

A handsome, vaguely calligraphic free typeface from Uruguayan designer Fernando Diíaz. At first glance Fénix’s “strong serifs and rough strokes” suggest it’s well suited only for display purposes, but in the samples shown here, at least, it’s surprisingly effective for setting text as well.

The fact that it’s free is the good news. The better news is that it’s available as a web font at Google Fonts. The bad news is that there’s only the one weight right now; no bold, light, medium, italic, etc. See the font in greater detail at Díaz’s Behance project.
